Description

For the light shield of light emitting module
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of bowl-type light shield for light emitting module.Additionally, the present invention relates to a kind of have bowl-type light shield Light emitting module.
Background technology
The solid state light emitter of such as light emitting diode (LED) is increasingly used as the illumination of various illuminations and signal application Equipment.A kind of luminaire suitable for outdoor application is high flux light emitting module.Some at least for such as roadway illumination For outdoor application, the light for expecting conveying uniform exports and meets the requirement of optical profile.Additionally, LED module out of doors In the case of reflector use, light-emitting area should be little as far as possible.Generally, it means that LED is relatively close to each other to be carried out Positioning.However, conditions above does not guarantee that the uniformity and the requirement of light distribution are satisfied automatically.These requirements are for road Particular importance for illumination, this is because less uniform light distribution may form dark hot spot on road, this for Driver and pedestrian can be unfavorable.Additionally, less uniform light distribution possibility further requirement use is more multiple at light source Miscellaneous optical system come meet about road the uniformity and light be distributed suggestion.
Some trials have had been made to meet the requirement of optical profile and the uniformity.For example, WO2012/040414 is disclosed A kind of housing integrates lens to eliminate or alleviate color and brightness artifact from optical system.The system is micro- including two groups Mirror;One of them be located at the inner surface of main optical element and second group of lenticule then positioned at the outer surface of the optical element.Especially Ground, the lenticule on inner surface is operably coupled to lenticule corresponding on outer surface.Additionally, the light of all chips all by The lenticule is mixed to obtain single light source.
Although activity at the scene, there is still a need for a kind of requirement for meeting the uniformity and light distribution improves to some extent LED module.Especially, expect constitute the LED module component size and number between keep balance and cause consider Cost is minimized in the case of manufacturing to LED module.
US7441927B1 discloses a kind of PAR lamp with single electric light source (such as LED) and lens, the lens tool There is the lenticule being arranged in spiral pattern in the interior surface of lens.EP1500866A2 discloses one kind with height dome Lens forming PAR lamp.The inner or outer surface of the dome lens can include lenticule or other refractive optics features. EP0598546A1 discloses a kind of meniscus lens, and it has smooth outer surface and on an internal surface multiple hexagonal With the lenticule of spherical curved surface.EP1524468A1 discloses a kind of luminaire with reflector, the reflector have with The opening of diaphragm seals, the inner surface of the barrier film is covered completely by lenticule.
The content of the invention
In view of above mentioned in prior art and other defects, the overall goal of the present invention is to provide one kind to be used for The bowl-type light shield of the light emitting module for improving to some extent.
According to the first aspect of the invention, there is provided a kind of bowl-type light shield for light emitting module.The bowl-type light shield has For towards the concave surface of light source, and for away from the convex surface of light source.The bowl-type light shield includes lenticule battle array Array structure, it is deployed on the inner surface of the light shield for so that the light from light source transmitting is reflected.Additionally, the bowl-type Light shield includes the grand lens arrangement being formed between the microlens array structure and the convex surface of the light shield.The grand lens arrangement With thickness Z1, wherein thickness Z1It is varied from along the light shield and causes light from the relatively thin part court of the microlens structure Reflected to thicker part.
Term " lenticule " refers to micro objective, and it generally has than several millimeters less diameter, and often 10 micro- Rice is so little.Such lens are known in the sector, and are generally transmitted with certain using convex-concave surface The light of wavelength.Lenticule can be provided in an array manner, and can be arranged with one-dimensional or two-dimensional array.At this In bright context, lenticule is deployed on the concave surface of the light shield by proper method.For example, with lenticule battle array The light shield of array structure can be made by injection molding, and wherein the microlens structure is formed in a mold (reversing).
Term " grand lens " refers to any other lens bigger than lenticule, and is most often corresponding to whole cover body Lens.Grand lens can be represented as " routine " lens, and with the size of usual 10-100mm magnitudes.One kind is for grand The suitable material of lens is glass.It is also contemplated that be, it is possible to use the other materials of such as transparent plastic etc.With this side Formula, the present invention proposes a kind of so that luminous intensity is distributed the light shield for making moderate progress.Additionally, the present invention is considered as such as solid The uniformity of illuminance of the light source of state light source, the array of such as LED etc has positive influences.
One group of lenticule is used on the inner surface of main optical element and in the appearance of the main optical element with available Compared using one group of lenticular prior art systems on face, the invention provides a kind of less complex technical solution, It only has the microlens array being deployed on the concave surface of light shield.For this purpose, by the principle of the present invention, it is not only possible to improve Luminescence Uniformity, and the distribution of luminous intensity may be improved.It thus provides a kind of two kinds of work(of combination for light emitting module The bowl-type light shield of energy.
Because the thickness of grand lens arrangement is varied from along the light shield light is caused from the relatively thin portion of the grand lens arrangement Divide towards thicker part and reflected, so the light from solid state light emitter carries out diffraction towards the thicker part of the light shield. So, compared with available prior art, luminous intensity distribution is further improved.
Further, since present invention improves luminous intensity distribution, it is possible that preferably tackling various technical specifications.This Sample, by light shield of the invention, using the teaching of the invention it is possible to provide a kind of LED module mutually compatible with different types of light fixture, while still The overall performance for guaranteeing the light fixture is maintained.Therefore, it is also an object of the present invention to provide a kind of be more flexibly used for The light shield of light emitting module.
Thus, the present invention increased selection quantity for appropriate LED, and therefore extend such as providing electric screen The design freedom of the extention of the protective cover for covering etc.
As the above mentioned, because technique effect has been lifted, more small-sized luminous mould may be utilized in light fixture The quantity of LED in block and reduction light emitting module, while keeping the high uniformity.Therefore, by the present invention, there is provided one kind system Make relatively inexpensive light emitting module.
Uniformity of illuminance is considered as the important quality for solving the problems, such as how to be uniformly distributed in a region light.Illumination The uniformity should in the open air for being such as used for road, street, parking facility, park, natural geomorphology, footpath and cycle track etc It is particular importance with.In other words, the change of the height and the section of low illumination that are contrasted may be such that eyes Feel serious discomfort, produce pressure and feeling of fatigue and therefore jeopardize road safety.What is be not limited by any theory In the case of, it is appreciated that it is caused suddenly without half-light speckle institute that the uniform light degree for making moderate progress can allow people persistently to perceive environment Interrupt.In addition, less uniform Illumination Distribution needs increasingly complex optical system to realize uniform light on road at light source Line is distributed.By this way, uniformity of illuminance contributes to shifting to an earlier date anticipation when driving so that traffic flow is more smoothly and makes Obtain driver more to loosen.Therefore, it was briefly mentioned as before, another target again of the present invention is to provide a kind of so that shining The bowl-type light shield for light emitting module that the degree uniformity makes moderate progress.
In various embodiments, the light shield can be formed by base part and tip portion.Herein, in base portion In point, thickness Z1It is less than in tip portion.
Preferably, the microlens array structure can include surface micro lens.It is micro- with curve form by providing Mirror, the uniformity further makes moderate progress.Why this is achieved in that the lenticule has by this is lenticular Reflected on surface and mixed the function of light.The curve form for example can be sphere, ellipse or can provide required A part for any other curve form of light refraction.
As the above mentioned, for each embodiment, when microlens array structure includes multiple lenticulees, each is micro- Lens can be being disposed away from any other lenticular central point apart from P.Thus, it is being formed in two contiguous microlens Intersecting part incisal plane T and convex surface between form angle [alpha].Therefore, the angle is corresponding to the incisal plane and evagination table Deviation between face.
Generally, due to the distance between LED differences, light emitting module light X different with transverse direction Y needs along the longitudinal direction Line mixing is required.
In order to meet the requirement, the light mixing must carry out independent regulation in two dimensions.Therefore, in each embodiment In, the central point between two lenticulees in the longitudinal direction X of the light shield is apart from P1With in the transverse direction Y of the light shield Two lenticulees between central point apart from P2It is different.In this manner, it may be possible to by the mixing in X-direction and Y-direction Amount is separated further to improve the uniformity.So, the light mixing in two dimensions can be independently adjustable.
According to the second aspect of the invention, there is provided a kind of light emitting module, it is included according to as the above mentioned arbitrarily The bowl-type light shield of aspect.The light emitting module further includes multiple solid state light emitters, and it is configured to the indent table towards the light shield Face lights.

It should be noted that Fig. 2 a are the simplified illustrations of the light emitting module 100 in Fig. 1, and such as it is directed to light emitting module Electrical connection and the various structures for installing the structure etc of light emitting module be not explicitly indicated.However, such Structure can be provided with many different modes apparent to those skilled in the art.
Additionally, light emitting module 100 includes multiple solid state light emitters 120.Solid state light emitter 120 can be deployed in base construction 150 Advantageously can be arranged above and with two-dimensional array.In one embodiment, the solid state light emitter is provided in the form of LED. Diffusing panel (or remote phosphor film) can be deployed in before the solid state light emitter to enter the light that the light emitting module is launched Row diffusion.Additionally or alternatively, the solid state light emitter can be deployed on printed circuit board (PCB) (PCB), and the latter is typically base The integration section of holder structure 150.In another embodiment, the PCB is the unitary part of the light emitting module, and it passes through arbitrarily suitable When means are engaged to base construction, such as by binding agent.
Light emitting module 100 and bowl-type light shield 110 are made a more detailed description referring now to Fig. 2 a and 2b.Such as Fig. 2 a In schematically indicate, light emitting module 100 includes bowl-type light shield 110.Bowl-type light shield 110 is engaged to base construction 150, so as to Closing solid state light emitter 120.Bowl-type light shield 110 has the concave surface 112 being used for towards light source, and for away from light source The convex surface 114 of side, above-mentioned light source is solid state light emitter 120.As shown in Fig. 2 the shape constitutes hemicycle, Fig. 2 is this Light covers on the sectional view of the shape of longitudinal direction X and thickness direction Z.In other words, the shape of the light shield has in longitudinal direction X Extension, transverse direction Y in extension and the extension in thickness direction Z, and cause the light shield outer surface formed protrusion table Face.For example, the extension in longitudinal direction X is between 50 to the 80mm, the extension in transverse direction Y in 15-30mm it Between, and the extension in thickness direction Z is between 5-25mm.To be noted, the net shape of the light shield should be fitted For the deployment form and/or the shape of light emitting module 100 of its solid state light emitter 120 placed on it.Preferably, the light shield is by list Layer material is formed.It is also contemplated that, if the light shield can be made up of the identical material of dried layer.
In all embodiments of the invention, bowl-type light shield 110 includes being deployed on the inner surface 112 of the light shield 110 Microlens array structure 122, to reflect to the light sent from light source.In various embodiments, the microlens array Structure includes multiple lenticulees.If seen from the embodiment shown in Fig. 2 a and 2b, and as explained above, should Microlens array structure includes here spherical microlens.Include the lenticular light shield 110 with spherical shape by providing, The uniformity makes moderate progress.Why this realizes that be because that lenticule has is mixed by being reflected on lenticular inner surface The function of closing light line.
Herein, amount of refraction is determined by each lenticular maximum angle α.With reference to Fig. 3 a-3d, the angle [alpha] is by every The radius R of individual spherical lenss and the central point of each lens are determined apart from P.Therefore, herein, radius R is referred to as micro- The radius of curvature of lens surface.That is, each lenticular surface is a part for sphere, as shown in such as Fig. 2 b, its In the sphere there is radius R.Therefore, each lenticule is here sphere and is defined by radius R.Although it is right to refer to For the radius R of lens, but be also to it is foreseen that, the lenticule can be by any other suitable parameter institute for describing its curvature Definition.Generally, lenticular radius R and size determine lenticular intensity.In this respect, those skilled in the art show and It is clear to, the scope of radius R is determined by selected lenticular size and required effect.
In certain embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 a, the length of each lenticular radius R is constant, the i.e. length of radius Degree is all identical for all lenticulees.However, in other embodiments, the length of the first lenticular radius R can be with The length of the second lenticular radius R is different.It is every in the microlens array structure 122 in still another embodiment Individual lenticular radius R is less than 10mm.In a specific embodiment, the length of radius R is 2.6mm.Although cannot from figure Find out, but can also be readily appreciated that, for given central point apart from P, due to lenticular geometry, little radius R corresponds to big angle [alpha].Accordingly, big radius R corresponds to little angle [alpha].
Angle [alpha] refers to the angle being formed between the incisal plane T of the intersecting part of two contiguous microlens and convex surface 114 Degree.If seen from Fig. 3 b, little central point corresponds to little angle [alpha] apart from P.If seen from Fig. 3 c, Big central point corresponds to big angle [alpha] apart from P.Therefore, angle [alpha] is corresponding to inclined between incisal plane T and convex surface 114 Difference.The specific joining to be noted, between incisal plane T and convex surface 114, convex surface 114 is by as flat Smooth surface.
According to one embodiment of present invention, as shown in Figure 3 d, as in the longitudinal direction X of bowl-type light shield 110 The central point of the distance between two lenticulees is apart from P1With two lenticulees in the transverse direction Y as bowl-type light shield 110 The distance between central point apart from P2It is different.In this manner, it may be possible to the combined amount in X-direction and Y-direction is carried out Separate further to improve the uniformity.For example, central point is apart from P1Between 3 to 10mm, and central point is apart from P2In 3 To between 15mm.To be noted, Fig. 3 d depict simplified diagram of the central point between two lenticulees apart from P.Therefore, In practice, lenticule is generally substantially even more closely disposed mutually in X-direction and Y-direction, and Jing is often with such as Fig. 2 b Shown pattern is disposed.
It is not limited by any theory, in shade angle, light-emitting area becomes less and therefore needs less mixed Close.So, central point changes along reticle surface apart from P with lenticular Angle Position.
Fig. 2 a and 2b are referred again to, bowl-type light shield 110 further includes to be formed at microlens array structure 122 and bowl-type light Grand lens (macrolens) structure 124 between the convex surface 114 of cover 110.It is grand as shown in Fig. 2 b more clearly Lens arrangement 124 has thickness Z1.Thickness Z1Change along light shield 110 and cause light from the relatively thin part of grand lens arrangement 124 Reflected to thicker part.That is, the thickness is from thickness Z1It is changed into Z2.Herein and as shown in Figure 2 b, thickness Z1Change along angle γ.Can also understand from Fig. 2 b, angle γ is defined as the surface comprising solid state light emitter 120, Angle i.e. between the surface normal on the surface of base construction 150.The scope of angle γ is from 0 ° to ± 90 °.Therefore, 0 ° is vertical In base construction 150, and 90 ° then parallel to base construction 150.In one embodiment, thickness Z1In the pedestal in light shield 110 It is less than in the tip portion 134 of light shield 110 in part 132.This has been illustrated in figure 2b, i.e. the base part of light shield 110 The 132 thickness Z with the tip portion 134 less than light shield 1102Thickness Z1.The technique effect of microlens structure 124 is also in Fig. 4 In illustrated, it illustrates how light is reflected towards the thicker part of light shield 110.So, from solid state light emitter Light is reflected towards the thicker part of light shield 110.Accordingly, it is possible to further improve the distribution of luminous intensity.In other realities In applying example, thickness Z1Change along angle γ.With regard to Fig. 4, it is noted that, light beam has amplified in the refraction of inner surface. Additionally, in practice, refraction is also had in outer surface.
Thus, the thickness change of grand lens 124 mainly has influence on the distribution of luminous intensity, and microlens array 122 Then mainly affect uniformity of illuminance.It is to be noted, due to the invention provides two kinds of functions, so and can not possibly completely by Above mentioned two kinds of technique effects are isolated.
As the above mentioned, the uniformity is all substantially made moderate progress by bowl-type light shield 110 in all solid state light emitters. And, being deployed in several LED of base construction perimeter can be likely more due to light shield closer to the perimeter Readily it is resolved, this is because the light shield is bowl-type.That is, due to the curvature of the light shield, and in the light shield Distance at the point Q of pedestal is compared, and the distance between the light shield and the LED that is deployed on base construction are in the light shield top It is less at partial point S.
With reference to Fig. 5, the relative luminous intensity of the light emitting module 100 including bowl-type light shield 110 is shown.Herein, art Language " relative " refers to the luminous intensity of the greatest measure relative to the luminous distribution of lambert (Lambertian).In the figure, for Light emitting module including light shield and the light emitting module without any light shield depict relative luminous intensity.Considering The two examples are depicted in the case of the luminous distributions of Lambertian.The angle refers to angle γ as shown in Figure 2 b.No The relative luminous intensity of the light emitting module of light shield is shown by dashed lines, including the relative luminous intensity of the light emitting module of light shield is by white line Illustrate, and Lambertian relative luminous intensities are by shown by continuous lines.Lambertian is luminous to be distributed in 0 ° with most Big luminous intensity, it drops to 0 at -90 ° and+90 °.For all examples, relative luminous intensity shows big distribution, wherein There is peak value relative luminous intensity in 0 ° of angle, and there is minimum luminous intensity at -90 ° and 90 °.Such as the flow chart in Fig. 5 It is shown, when light emitting module is when without using in the case of light shield, first area-i.e. 0 ° -41.4 °-in there is excessive number Light, and the 4th region-i.e. 75.5 ° -90 °-in amount of light it is then not enough.However, including bowl when using During the light emitting module of type light shield, measured luminous intensity all makes moderate progress for all regions, and obtain closer to The luminous intensity distribution being more uniformly distributed of Lambertian relative luminous intensities.Especially, by the invention it is realised that all In region, relative luminous intensity is all within the 4% of Lambertian relative luminous intensities.Above mentioned diagram is to use It is in exemplary purpose and to be noted, some changes there may be according to the net shape and thickness of bowl-type light shield.
It is noted that by providing the light emitting module with bowl-type light shield, gap is not produced to subtract by removing random LED Few LED quantity is possibly unpractical.In practice, remove in LED base structure corner location LED or by its across Surface redistributes.However, by the present invention, compared with the original luminance without light shield is distributed, still may provide and change The kind uniformity.This is because using the light shield, the illumination area increase of each LED is of about the size of the LED spacing.
Additionally, by studying accompanying drawing, open and claims, those skilled in the art are putting into practice claimed It will be appreciated that and implementing to be directed to the change of disclosed embodiment when bright.In the claims, word " including " is not precluded from other Key element or step, and indefinite article " one " (" a " or " an ") be not precluded from it is multiple.Some measures are in mutually different subordinate The only fact being cited in claim not represents that the combination of these measures cannot be utilized.
